Leelanau REACH, a non-profit Housing Development Corporation has been established to develop and expand the affordable housing options in Leelanau County. The Board of Director's mission is to develop single family homes, townhouses, condos and rentals that young families can afford, allowing them to live and work in the county in a safe and secure environment.

The Leelanau REACH Board is an independent, and private non-profit organization. REACH stands for "Resources for Economical and Accessible Community Housing".

Leelanau REACH has developed and sold its first house, without any government funds. The home was built in 1973, and donated to Leelanau County in April of 2005. The County granted the home to Leelanau REACH for its first housing project.

With support from Bob Biggs Construction and Northwestern Bank and Trust, REACH was able to re-develop the home and sell it as an affordable home.

The 1728 sq. ft. three bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home was completely re-developed including a new two-car garage. Homebuyer Christopher Carlson was very delighted to be able to buy an “almost new” home for his family at an affordable price.
